Here is what Gary Shapiro CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) said: Dvorak's writing sings with insight and clarity. Whether or not you agree with John's views, he will get you thinking and is never boring. These essays are worth the read!

Well, I don’t get it. It reminds of a few things, none of which reminds me of Xmas.
With 10 below temperatures, what, the whole family goes outside and sticks their tongues to it, for a collective family tongue-stuck reunion?

OK, contest! Name something smaller than Kwanzaa. Hee!
Actually I can’t really imagine this catching on as anything more than a fad. But Who knows.
South Park has too much of an influence on American culture.
I love it.
#3 South Park? now i thought Festivus was from Seinfeld, but maybe I’m crazy
Why should i care about this? It’s not even cool
#4, you are right. George’s father celebrated Festivus (much to George’s embarrassment).
It’s the holiday for the restofus…
Taking a line from The Breakfast Club: “Wow…that really pumps my nads.”

Happy Festivus, bitches!
PS, Festivus falls on a Saturday this year, so feel free to take your public holiday on Friday (today).
Wouldn’t they sell more of these if the picture showed a scantily clad young lass twirling around the pole?

This thing aint even a 1/4″ thick wall…
This will break the first kid that wants to SWING on it.
Here are the directions to build one of these yourself

Also, it seems to address the issues that ECA had with the store bought model.
save a post.. for xmas
#7, Festivus for the restovus.
That has a nice ring to it. 😉
John,
I just tried to look up the Shuttle landing site in White Sands, New Mexico, but Google Earth has put a large fake white out cloud over it. But The White House is crystal clear. What is the sense of that?
Here is Dvoraks chance to break, breaking news!!!

Another gay pastor scandal!!! This time its gay sex with children!
16,
You really want a better target…I’d settle for DC.
13,
IF I really needed a pole, I would get a 2″ cast iron one cheaper..
Buff it up, Wax it to death, and set it up.
I say, put up your Festivus Pole with a Menorra on top of it and hang a Christmas Wreath from it. And where do you put it? Why, right next to your Nativity scene of course. (Don’t forget to make sure you put a Santa in the Nativity scene right next to the Wise Men also.)
We have a Festivus Pole in our office… I LOVE IT….
We all joke about “the airing of the gievances” all through the holiday season.
We never seem to get to the feats of strenght … too bad.
Peas on earth!
Happy HannaChristaKwansaRamadas!
LOL – Don’t know how I got South Park crossed up with Seinfeld in my head.
Nevertheless, after Richard’s recent outburst, it’s now..
“Festivus for the racist-in-us.”
Merry Christmas everyone.
If this catches on the poles will soon be made in China, retail for $29.95 and sell at Wallmart for $29.93. How soon will it take before “Happy Festivus” is replaced by “Happy X-vus”. The Baltimore Ravens are also trying to hijack this “Tradtional Holiday”.

When will we see the Rankin/Bass televison special “Pauly the Red Festivus Pole”
